A group of us were discussing this over lunch today. We also have family and friends in the evacuated areas. Someone in our group said from what he has heard, the experts are saying we are not going to have much relief or rain during monsoon season. It will be more of a dry monsoon. I hope he's wrong. I am a firm believer in prayer, however.

It will be more of a dry monsoon.

Seems that way. I don't think we've had a drop of rain in 4 months, at least. If anything like the last 4 years, monsoon rains have been widely scattered, but with lots of lightning. Local news reports forests are 10% drier than ever recorded. Not good.
